It's been very hard for me since my Candy went to the Bridge..Can't believe it's almost 2 months, I'm so blessed to have had her 16yrs,and her spirit and memories will be in my heart forever. I also have her ashes and plenty of pictures, I think about her every day.. I will be writing some crazy Candy stories real soon, trust me there's alot of em No other Golden will ever replace my baby Candy.
I've come across a beautiful female 1 yr old Golden named Kaya, where the family doesn't have time to be with her. We know these Goldens need exercise and love.
I'm going to see her tomorrow, I'll know then should she be my new baby girl. Nothing will ever replace my Candy,she was my first Golden, but won't be my last. I just feel since I've had only 2 dogs in 29 yrs back to back, I really miss the companionship of another Golden.
Should I adopt Kaya,I'll be putting up pictures for all to see.

I'm sorry to hear about Candy - sounds like she was a true angel - I look forward to hearing your stories. I hope Kaya is the right dog and if she is you'll be surprised how much room you have left in your heart for yet another Golden.

Sonny, the black lab, ran ahead to make sure there were no gophers or jackrabbits in the way. If you don't give a dog a specific job, he'll improvise one for himself and it will invariably be fun. There's a lesson there.John Gierach

So sorry to hear about Candy she sounds like a total love. It's amazing how much we can grow to love them and need the to fulfill our lives.

When I lost Sunshine I couldn't think for months, but I knew I wanted another Golden and I knew I wanted two. No two dogs (or cats) are the same they each bring something unique and special into our lives. Darby and Kirby are very individual and I remember the evening I brought Darby home, I sat on the sofa holding him (7 weeks) sobbing because I wished Sunny could've shared the experience.

I hope Kaya is the right one for you, it's amazing how they can help you heal.

When my Maggie went to the Bridge I wasn't sure if I wanted to love and loose another pet again. But less than a month later my daughter surprised me with Hank. Opening up your heart to another dog makes all those memories less painful.

I hope all goes well when you meet Kaya tomorrow and she finds a forever home with you.

I’m sure this is a very common topic, but my husband and I are so torn on whether we get a golden retriever or a golden doodle as we will be first time dog owners, and would love some guidance. At this point, I think I’m about to just flip a coin!!
We love the temperament, personality and...

I have no idea where the last 5 years went! It's hard to believe that my "forever puppy" is now officially middle-aged. This is the first birthday he's had where I was not asked if he was a puppy, which I found kind of sad LOL. I am so blessed to have spent the last 5 years with him and I hope...

Well, solve one issue, create a new one...
We have successfully trained Kona to pee on a small patch of artificial turf, which simply sits on concrete in our side yard and allows the urine to flow into a drain.
But...
I have noted that the area is starting to smell of urine, even though we...

Looking for help from you masters of K9Data. I haven't had to upload a picture of my pups to k9Data for years, and I know that until recently, it wasn't even possible (they were having trouble with Photobucket hosting??). I read that it was possible again and I sat down to do it today and...

As summery weather kicks in here in the Midwest, we have had a stretch of warmer days in the 80’s. We are noticing that our one year old golden is really having a hard time with the heat. He is more lethargic during the day, pants a lot more (even though we keep our air set to 73 degrees!), and...
